Jewish Youth's

LISTENING

Simons Declines
Offer to Join
O'Brien's Staff

Prosecutor-elect Gerald K.
O'Brien honored Leonard Simons,
prominent Detroit Jewish attor-
ney, by offering him one of the
most important positions on his
staff, but due to the pressure of
private business, Mr. Simons re-
gretfully stated that he could
not, at this time, accept the ap-
pointment.
Mr. Simons has been politically
associated with Prosecutor
O'Brien for the past four years
and together with Patrick S.
Nertney and Jimmy Stewart,
newly appointed chief investiga-
tor, managed Mr. O'Brien's suc-
cessful campaign for this office.
Leonard Simons, 36, a native-
born Detroiter, was graduated
from Central High school and
the Detroit College of Law, and
has practiced law here for 15
years. He is a member of the
Masonic Order, Perfection Lodge,
Shrine and Consistory; Detroit
Lawyer's Guild, Michigan Show-
men's Association, Knights of
Pythias, and other civic and•fra-
ternal organizations.
Prosecutor O'Brien in his let-
ter to Mr. Simons stated in part:
"I exceedingly regret your de-
cision not to accept appointment
to the staff of Prosecuting At-
torney. Your abilities and ex-
perience, well known to me
through our years of pleasant
contacts, would have been of
great value in the major ap-
pointment I tendered you."
Mr. Simons is now one of the
Counsel for the Wayne County
Grievance Committee, one of the
most important committees of
the State Bar Association.

A PROLONGED
WAR

scenic natural beauty, colorful
costumes of the 1849's, and a host
of new Jerome Kern melodies,
Deanna is seen as a refreshingly
gay young lady greatly enamored
of a handsome Army officer,
David Bruce. While following
him across the country she en-
counters a young gambler, whom
she employs to drive her (cov-
ered wagon style) to California.
While enroute her affections for
the gambler soar and the situa-
tion . ends satisfactorily for all
concerned.
.Among the new Jerome Kern
songs Deanna deftly handles are
"More and More," "Can't Help
Singing," and "Calif orn T i-ay."
Supplying the comedy as two
petty crooks are Akim Tamiroff
and Leonid Kinskey.
"Enter Arsene Lupin" with
Charles Korvin and Ella Rhines
is the companion feature.
